PETERMANN PMF-8260 X-Ray Crawler User Manual

General Information

Thank you for choosing a Petermann product.

Please read the user manual carefully before using the product for the first time!

The current understanding in modern occupational health and safety is that people in nursing professions experience significant work-related physical strain. Back injuries are common. There are many situations in which a patient has to be transferred from a bed, a wheeled stretcher, ambulance stretcher, an X-Ray table or a wheelchair to a different stretcher or seat. The strain on the user and the patient / care-dependent can be reduced significantly through the use of sliding mats.

The use of transfer aids should be conditional upon the user having learned to use the equipment properly. The user has to decide for themselves what equipment is suitable to the patient’s situation and the intended sequence of movements.

X-Ray Cassette Placers are the perfect aid for safe and gentle handling of X-ray cassettes on the patient. The
innovative principle of the rotating Petermann X-Ray Cassette Placer, where the X-Ray Cassette Placer is simply slid under the patient, is a significant improvement in the use of X-ray cassettes on patients. In order to meet the strict hygiene requirements, the Petermann X-Ray Cassette Placer can easily be wipe disinfected. X-Ray Cassette Placer sets also include a disposable Protection Foil for the X-ray cassette to facilitate a safe and efficient workflow.

The product may only be used for the specified purpose and under the specified conditions.

The information in this user manual is for the patient who is being transferred and moved, as well as the user performing the transfer / position change.
